QB Matt Moore

(You said after Saturday’s scrimmage that it was business as usual. Is that still the same mentality today?) – “Yes. I mean really, that’s the approach. It’s kind of the same message. In training camp, there’s tons to work on; there’s tons going on obviously, so I’m singing the same old song. It’s getting better every day, learning from the previous day, working with the guys that are here now and that’s my mindset.”

(Based on that, do you believe it’s open competition?) – “I think I’ve been in this league long enough to know that you compete every day. Whether there’s a depth chart or not, you’re competing every day with yourself, with your teammates, and that makes you better.”

(Have you ever asked yourself ‘Why not me?’) – “I don’t have time for that. I’m grinding. I’m working on things. I’m improving from last year and looking forward to the future.”

(How did you find out that they would be bringing in another quarterback?) – “I talked to (Head) Coach (Adam) Gase. We had a nice conversation and he told me what was going on, and that was it.”

(Can you share the message Head Coach Adam Gase gave you?) – “It was very simple. (It was) very straightforward and I get it. I understand; but it wasn’t very Hollywood. It was just pretty straightforward.”

(You’ve obviously been doing this awhile, as you mentioned. You thought this might be your chance to have a team to start for 16 games. It has to be on some level disappointing for you.) – “You know what? This is a team sport and you guys know this, I’ve been with this organization for a long time and have been a team guy and I’m, like I said, (focused on) training camp. My focus is getting better and working with the guys that are here.”

(Is it still viewed as a competition for the starting job?) – “Always. Like I said it before, you compete every day. And other guys … Everybody makes you better around you. You compete every day and you try to be at your best when the season starts.”
